Featherweight

Made from Curv, a recycled material, this Cosmolite collection suitcase is lighter than the competition. Plus it’s able to withstand extreme temperatures (as low as -40°C).

Top Drawer

Five detachable drawer-like pockets transform this carry-on bag into a portable dresser. Thanks to its aluminum frame, it’s light and can hold up to 136 kg, without an ounce of disorganization.

General Motor

Equipped with a built-in motor, this suitcase can travel 2.8 km on its own steam. And when the battery dies, the adjustable handle lets you transfer up to 85% of its weight onto the wheels, turning your stopover at LHR into a walk in the park.

The Right Touch

Your confidential documents won’t slip through your fingers with this carry-on bag, programmed to open with a touch of your fingerprint. And the biometric recognition system stores your print identity in its memory for 90 days.
